Be Fairy Afraid Podcast

Once upon a time, comedians Fiona Ridgewell & Louise Atkinson decided to start a podcast that explores fairy tales, folklore, myths, and legends. But, these aren't the nice, fluffy versions of the stories that everyone knows and loves. They're the original, darker, sordid ones from long ago.

On this episode of the Be Fairy Afraid Podcast, Fiona & Louise look at one of the classic fairy tales written by Hans Christian Anderson - The Tin Soldier, or The Steadfast Tin Soldier, a story about a tin soldier's love for a paper ballerina.

Also, Louise and Fiona discuss erotic pottery and hen parties and Louise attempts to impersonate Fiona's accent, which gets mixed reviews.

Give it a listen and please like & subscribe on YouTube, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. Now, in the words of Giambattista Basile, from his story The Enchanted Doe - shut your mouths, open your ears, and hear what I shall tell you.

Hope you enjoy! :-)

Once upon a time, comedians Fiona Ridgewell & Louise Atkinson as they explore fairy tales, folklore, myths, and legends.

But, these aren't the nice, fluffy versions of the stories everyone knows and loves. They're the original, darker, sordid ones from long ago, usually interjected with some of the silly goings ons in their lives.

In this episode, Fiona & Louise cover one of the classic fairy tales by Charles Perrault; Riquet-With-The-Tuft, a tale about a fairy who gives an ugly prince named Riquet the gift of conferring wit upon the one he loves the best.

Louise and Fiona also talk about car accidents, insurances claims and egg freezing parties, and basically have a general natter.

But, these aren't the nice, fluffy versions of the stories everyone knows and loves. They're the original, darker, sordid ones from long ago, paired with some of the silly goings ons in their lives.

In this episode, Fiona & Louise cover one of the classic fairy tales by The Brothers Grimm; Clever Elsie, about a lazy, silly woman who won't change her ways, supposedly, although Fiona and Louise think it may have a different meaning.

Louise and Fiona also talk about doing stuff on your own, if we have to like people and the tasteful topic of colonics.
